Festival Fun

I'm home for a rest after spending a hot morning at the Reston Festival (which continues until 10 tonight and all day tomorrow).  I finally made it over to the children's area this year and was pleasantly surprised (though we did go early before the crowd was too large).  My kids enjoyed the crafts but also the kiddie play area which included some really creative ideas.  My favorite would be easy to repeat at home - they provided golf tees and small wooden mallets and blocks of styrofoam packing...Voila! Let the kids hammer to their heart's content! Also a big hit - the two trains that are running rides through town center.  We're letting kids paint with spray bottles of non-toxic, washable paint at our booth.  I'll be headed back tonight and again tomorrow, see you
